Ultravioleta

El Vislumbre del Esteko's song 'Ultravioleta' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and beauty of love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the intense feelings that come with a profound romantic connection. The opening lines, 'Hecho sombra iré a buscarte junto al sol,' suggest a journey of seeking light and warmth, possibly symbolizing hope and clarity, even as the speaker feels overshadowed by their own emotions.

The recurring theme of pain is evident in lines like 'Desgarro mi piel,' which translates to 'I tear my skin.' This metaphorical expression highlights the raw and visceral nature of the speaker's suffering. The 'poesía de tu voz' or 'poetry of your voice' indicates that the memories of the loved one are both beautiful and haunting, adding to the complexity of the speaker's emotions. The questions of love and the unexpected nature of the loved one's departure ('lo improvisto de tu adiós') further amplify the sense of confusion and heartache.

The chorus, 'Duele el amor tal vez por la espina y la muerte,' underscores the duality of love as both a source of joy and pain. The imagery of thorns and death conveys the inevitable suffering that accompanies deep affection. However, the speaker's greatest agony comes from the absence of their beloved, as expressed in 'pero sangro mas por no volverte a ver' and 'pero sangro mas por los besos que hoy no halle.' These lines poignantly capture the longing and the irreplaceable void left by the loved one's absence. The repetition of 'otra vez falle' ('I failed again') at the end of the song suggests a cycle of repeated attempts and failures, emphasizing the enduring struggle to cope with loss.
